To be honest, Duan Zihao's new drama "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is definitely a novel story with the theme of "tomb robbery", which is definitely not inferior to Hollywood's "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and the future "The Mummy". In particular, the traditional Chinese tomb robbery culture is much more profound than the above two dramas.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to this, the advantage is that it can carry forward the traditional Chinese tomb culture, and the disadvantage is that I am afraid that those ghosts will not understand it when it is released abroad.

Why are there all kinds of burial goods in the coffins of the deceased, why are the hooves of black donkeys used to drive away zombies, and why are there so many strange totems designed in the tombs......

But then again, the story of the whole play is full of novelty, the protagonist is Chinese, and the film is shot by Chinese, which has a different meaning. Duan Zihao wants to establish an image of a Chinese hero for Westerners, and this novel story of tomb robbery can definitely attract the attention of Westerners.

In addition to the novelty and peculiarity of the content, the script is even more refreshing, especially in the details. After Peter Jackson came into contact with this film, he was immediately impressed by these highlights in the script, so he was even more proactive in making special effects in the play, and he couldn't wait to empty all his thoughts.

As an "undercover agent" who was placed by Duan Zihao's side of Peter Jackson, Lan Naicai is like a hungry apprentice, eagerly following Peter to learn how to operate and make movie special effects. He is already intelligent, and he is even more aura in this area, so he learns quickly. Peter is a good teacher, at least he regards Lan Naicai as a good student, praising him from time to time, and he is also very strict with the design requirements of each special effect, but no matter how strict he is, Lan Naicai can always meet his requirements.

With the filming of the film, Lan Naicai's research on special effects design gradually showed results. For several days in a row, Peter Jackson found that Lan Naicai had added some very interesting and strange things to the special effects design, but he never understood what was going on.

"Oh. Dear Blue, these special effects you've been working on lately are weird, are you inspired by anything? Peter Jackson asked seemingly nonchalantly.

"Hehe, dear Mr. Peter Jackson, if you are inspired, then I can tell you that I have been figuring out the "Zombie Crossing the Line" that you have been filming for the past few days, and I think the special effects in it are a little rough, but they are very wonderful, if they are detailed. Then the effect will definitely be better. Lan Naicai replied with a smile.

Peter Jackson's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to have found the reason. Thinking back to the special effects performance made by Lan Naicai, Peter Jackson suddenly understood why it felt so familiar, and it turned out that the roots came from his own movies. It's just that people have taken their own models and re-innovated.

Actually, that's what special effects design is all about.

Many design patterns are the same, but different people have different styles, just like different dances have different charms, Lan Nai absorbed the essence of Peter Jackson in the special effects design, and then added his own new understanding, such as the scene where the shepherd turns into a giant at the end of "Zombies Play Across the Line". Directly taken by Lan Naicai, he became a giant rat monster encountered in the tomb robbery......

In this way, the special effects monster designed by Lan Naicai is even more bizarre and more in line with the theme of the play "Tomb Robbery Notes".

Arguably. In just one month, Lan Naicai learned from Peter Jackson and others, and directly upgraded to an excellent special effects master, because he knew what it means to "turn decay into magic".

……

Back to it. "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is almost halfway through filming.

During this period, with the improvement of special effects design, the biggest problem at present is not whether the special effects are good or not. It's about whether the actors' acting skills can meet the requirements of special effects.

Among them, Duan Zihao, Hung Jinbao and Leung Jiahui have the most important scenes, as the "Iron Triangle of Tomb Robbery", they encounter the most various monsters and dangers in the entire tomb robbery process. Therefore, their acting skills must also be required to be the best.

As the director, screenwriter and actor of this play, Duan Zihao's efforts and achievements are obvious to all.

No matter when, no matter what danger he encounters, or what kind of action scenes he shoots, he always goes into battle in person and never uses a stand-in, but Sammo Hung and Leung Ka-fai can't do this.

Of course, this is also related to their own skills.

Duan Zihao ate overnight porridge and learned kung fu, and his filming spirit is comparable to that of "Desperate San Lang", many thrilling blasting scenes are made in person, which only scares everyone into a cold sweat.

……

On this day, a thrilling scene was filmed, and the crew took a temporary break.

"Mr. Duan Zihao, your kung fu is better than the kung fu star Jackie Chan I know." Peter Jackson couldn't help but say this to Duan Zihao.

In his mind, Duan Zihao's status is getting higher and higher, and he likes this young man more and more. And that kind of regret Duan Zihao does not mean in the West, and it is getting stronger and stronger. Because he knows that even the best actors in Hong Kong are not very good when they break into Hollywood. If you were a Westerner, the result would be very different.

Duan Zihao didn't answer, just smiled slightly, he usually coped with praise like this, he knew his own strength, neither arrogant nor blindly optimistic. However, in his heart, he did not agree with Peter Jackson's admiration, because the other party affirmed Hong Kong kung fu and Hong Kong kung fu stars, but did not affirm the dedication and hard work of Hong Kong actors.

Of course, in Duan Zihao's view, Jackie Chan is really good, especially in Hong Kong now, being able to rely on "playing with his life" and "fighting for his life" to make a name for himself shows what a bullish person he is. In addition, in Duan Zihao's impression, the greatest action actor is Bruce Lee. In particular, with his own efforts, he has created a world for Chinese films in Hollywood, which is simply a fabulous feat. Look at the English dictionary, that "kungfu" was added by Bruce Lee.

Because Duan Zihao himself has the ability to predict that ordinary people do not have, Duan Zihao has to discount his achievements first, and his admiration for the achievements of his predecessors is from the bottom of his heart. Without their special abilities, they must have to put in more effort and hard work. In this regard, Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, and even Brother Hung Jinbao have set the best example for Duan Zihao. So he has always been very serious and diligent, and Duan Zihao strives for excellence in all aspects, which can be said to be the result of his personal practice.

For the first time, Peter Jackson began to complain that he didn't ship the best equipment from Hollywood. Previously, he even had the intention of coming to Hong Kong to make extra money and travel with him, not wholeheartedly helping with special effects filming, but just wanting to leave after getting the money. Anyway, China and the United States are so far away, even if it is miserable. Nor will they be chased for debts. In his selfish heart, he felt that Hong Kong films were not qualified to break into Hollywood at all. With a prejudice against Chinese films, he thinks that he can't make classics, so he doesn't bother to be perfect in special effects.

But now it's different, he realizes that Duan Zihao's talent is so outstanding, it can be a classic, but it's a pity that the shooting has begun, and all he can do now is to make the special effects in the back perfect. Only in this way can he be worthy of Duan Zihao's amazing skills and acting skills, so in the later shooting, Peter, as the special effects director, strengthened the requirements and strived to achieve the best in the possible range.

For Peter Jackson's request. The other actors didn't have much of an opinion either. Speaking of which, most of them thought about Peter Jackson, and at first, they saw it as just a gold rush. But as I got along with Duan Zihao, I also realized that this might be a good film, and I was strict with myself. Strive to be brilliant, at least, but also do not discredit the film, right?

Therefore, the filming behind this is getting more and more refined, after Peter Jackson pointed out that Duan Zihao's action scenes are full of charm, another wonderful idea came out, and Duan Zihao's performance completely stimulated everyone's creativity. Although it can't improve the overall taste of this film, some new ideas have greatly improved the production level of this film.

In such an atmosphere, the crew has simply become the most united and friendly creative group, and everyone is trying their best to think about how to make this film better. Working together, with everyone's suggestions, many weak links in this play have been made up, and the whole plot has become more reasonable and interesting.

This is also thanks to Duan Zihao's personality charm, for this group of Hollywood foreign aid at the beginning of the contempt for Hong Kong filmmakers, he did not care about it, but relied on his own efforts to win the respect he deserved.

As Hong Kong's premier film tycoon, a filmmaker who dares to invest in Hollywood movies and create Chinese-language blockbusters, Duan Zihao has made everyone feel friendly when Peter Jackson and others came to Hong Kong. And when Duan Zihao's talent in acting was revealed one by one, everyone began to sincerely admire him.

To put it bluntly, whether it is from Hollywood or Hong Kong, everyone relies on filming to eat, and no one wants to make their own movies to become popular. The original snub only felt that this play was nothing, but after seeing the power of this play, all the enthusiasm was mobilized at once.

This situation lasted until the end of the filming of the whole film, and although it was difficult to say that it was perfect, everyone was satisfied and looked forward to the release of the film. A lot of people feel that this is the best movie they have ever made.

When it comes to the filming process, everyone is unanimous and feels that it has never been so pleasant. By the end of the whole play, when everyone was about to go their separate ways, everyone felt that it was difficult to leave. This month's shooting really left a lot of good memories. Even Peter Jackson, who has always been unsmiling, said at the celebration party: "I have never experienced such a beautiful filming process, thank you for your cooperation." ”

……

After the celebration, the other actors went back to rest, only Duan Zihao and Peter Jackson were still together.

In the hotel's VIP lounge.

Duan Zihao poured a glass of wine for Peter Jackson, and then said, "Mr. Peter, you are about to go back to the United States, come, I will toast you a glass of wine first." ”

Peter Jason smiled, clinked glasses with Duan Zihao, and the two drank it all.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, dear Duan, I know you must have something to say when you left me behind, didn't you?"

"Yes, Mr. Peter, you know my mind very well, and I do have something to say to you." Duan Zihao poured another glass of wine, gently shook it in his hand, and said: "You may know the scale of our actor entertainment company in Hong Kong, with total assets of more than 30 billion, not too big, not too small, now, as the CEO of this company, I sincerely invite you to join!" ”

"What do you say. Dear Duan, I heard you right, right? Do you want to join your company? Peter Jackson asked in surprise.

"Yes." Duan Zihao replied in the affirmative. "I think this is a very good suggestion, you will join our actor entertainment, you will definitely become an excellent director of our company, and it will also improve the overall strength of our actor entertainment."

"Hahaha, Duan, your words surprised me too much...... But I wonder, is there any reason you can convince me, after all, I'm from Hollywood, why would I want to stay in a small place like Hong Kong? Peter Jackson said with a shrug. Then he added: "Although, I have a very good impression of you, and I admire your personality and your superb acting skills, but these are not reasons, are they?" ”

Duan Zihao smiled, shook the red wine glass in his hand and said: "There are many reasons, first, I ask you to join Actor Entertainment." It's not that you stay here to film, on the contrary, I'm ready to set up our branch in the United States, and you. It's the person in charge over there; Second, what do I get, you ask? Making movies is nothing more than fame and fortune, but in addition to fame and fortune, you can also get the opportunity to realize your dreams! ”

"A chance to make my dreams come true? Hehe. Dear Duan, you are amazing, can you still guess my mind? Jackson laughed disbelievingly.

Duan Zihao smiled. If he hadn't known Peter Jackson well, he wouldn't have made such an "amazing" request.

"Your dream is simple, it's to make the greatest magic movie in your mind! I don't know exactly what it is, but I can guarantee that when you want to fulfill your wish one day, I will support you without reservation, including all human and material resources! ”

Duan Zihao said that this passage was sonorous and powerful, showing his sincerity and confidence.

Peter Jackson took a deep breath, because he understood that Duan Zihao said this tantamount to giving himself a filming check without any restrictions, and he could shoot as many blockbusters as he wanted when the time came.

He was a little moved.

As a director, who doesn't want to go down in history? Shoot your best movies in your lifetime. Peter Jackson had that in mind. But he also understands that his dreams must be built with money, and the question is, how can a boss help him so trustingly?!

Seeing that Peter Jackson's eyes flickered, Duan Zihao knew that he was tempted, so he said again: "In addition to the above two reasons, I have one last reason-"

Duan Zihao deliberately paused to whet Peter Jackson's appetite.

Duan Zihao then said: "We have a saying in China, it is better to be a rooster's head than an oxtail, do you know what it means? It means that it is much better to be a super director in a small company like our actor entertainment than to choose those big companies to be an ordinary director! People, especially men, must be ambitious! ”

This passage is like a spear in the eyes of Peter Jackson's heart, you must know that there are so many big directors in Hollywood, what Lucas, Spielberg, etc., even if they join the big companies over there, they are at most behind them; What's more, being a director in Hollywood is not an iron job, and if you don't film, you have to be hungry, if you join this Hong Kong company with full potential, you can become the boss of the American branch, which is definitely a great opportunity for men......

After a brief hesitation, Peter Jackson suddenly gritted his teeth, then raised his wine glass and said, "Okay, dear Duan, I accept your invitation to officially join Actor Entertainment from today!" Here, let's cheers! ”

"Haha, cheers! I wish us a happy cooperation in the future! Duan Zihao was full of joy, he never thought that he would be able to manipulate this future Hollywood super director so easily. With him joining, why should I worry about big things? !

……

Hollywood director Peter Jackson officially announced to the media in Hong Kong that he would join Best Actor Entertainment, and this news directly caused a sensation throughout Hong Kong, and even the whole of Asia, as well as Hollywood.

No one expected him to announce such a result, people here in Hong Kong saw the powerful charm and strength of actor entertainment, Nima, and even Hollywood directors were recruited. Hollywood saw this director Peter's head show, shit, do you really think that their Hong Kong film company is stronger than Hollywood?

In any case, with the addition of Peter Jackson, the level of the entire company has been directly improved by several levels.

As a competitor of Actor Entertainment, Pan Disheng and Pan Gongzi of Debao Company had a headache, and he was still planning a lawsuit with Actor Entertainment with Leung Jiahui's contract, but people suddenly came with good news, and even Hollywood directors won it.

Pounce on your mother!

What kind of world is this?

What kind of shit luck did that Duan Zihao take, and is the Hollywood director blind?

Why don't so many companies choose actor entertainment?

I'm not convinced!

Duan Zihao, I want to fight you to the end!

Pan Gongzi roared heartbreakingly here, but Duan Zihao held a celebration banquet, and prepared for the release and publicity of his "Tomb Robbery Notes"!

In any case, in Duan Zihao's view, this drama is going out of Asia to the world, and it is also a touchstone for entering Hollywood, so it is necessary to do its best in all aspects! There must be no mistakes! (To be continued......)
